This page covers the 2003-2008 Honda Pilot: 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008. Other years live on the main Pilot wheel bearing page.
The front row does not start until 2005. A 2003 or 2004 Pilot front bearing is a match-the-old-part job, not a catalog lookup.
The rear hub, 512224, is documented for the whole 2003-2008 run. Only the front has this gap.
Year by year
2003 and 2004 have a documented rear, 512224, but no documented front. Match the old part or confirm by VIN for the front on these two years.
2005 through 2008 fill in both ends. A 2005 Honda Pilot wheel bearing order is front 510085 and rear 512224, the same pair straight through 2008.
A front number two years behind the rear
The rear hub, 512224, carries this Pilot for the whole 2003-2008 run. The front press-in bearing does not get a catalog row until 2005, leaving the first two years on match-the-old-part.
The next generation, covered on the 2009-2015 Honda Pilot wheel bearing page, replaces this press-in front bearing with a bolt-on hub. The 2016-2019 Honda Pilot wheel bearing page covers the body after that.
Diagnosing a 2003-2008 Honda Pilot wheel bearing
- Check the model year before ordering the front. 2005-2008 uses 510085; 2003-2004 needs the old part matched.
- Jack up the wheel and check for play. Rock the tire at 12 and 6 o’clock; any looseness means the bearing is worn. See how to check a wheel bearing.
- Plan for a press if the front is being replaced. This front position is a press-in ball bearing, not a bolt-on hub. See press-in wheel bearing basics.
- Watch the ABS light along with the noise. A worn hub sensor at the rear can trip the light early. See a bad bearing and the ABS light.
- Rule out tire wear before ordering parts. Uneven tread can mimic a bearing hum at highway speed. See tire noise or wheel bearing.
